Forest Fire!

Last weekend we did some camping at Kaibab Lake campground, little did we know that there was a forest fire burning right across the lake.

 

 

 

Nate’s Dinosaur Camp

Nate went to the Museum of Northern Arizona’s Dinosaur Camp last week. They had lots of stations to visit while at camp including digging for fossils, playing with dinosaurs, a time machine, and a craft center.

Getting ready to sing the “Dino Pokey.” Nate is in the yellow mask.

Ellie even got to join in during the Dino Feast and Party.

Random kid thoughts!

The other night while Ellie was supposed to be sleeping I heard from her room the familiar sound of a child throwing up.  I immediately ran up stairs and the following short but enlightening conversation ensued.

Ellie – Daddy, I spit up!

Daddy – Are you OK?

Ellie – yah I’m OK.

Daddy – Does your tummy not feel good, is that why you threw up?

Ellie – No, I stuck my finger in my throat

Daddy – why did you do that?

Ellie – I wanted to touch my food!

Ellie on the 4th

 

Ellie enjoyed the glow sticks more than the fireworks (she found the show to be a bit too long) but she did sit with Eric and Daddy  for a little bit to watch them. Nate got to watch fireworks in Flagstaff with Oma and Opa and he said they were the best fireworks he had ever seen.

Fireworks Photos

 

Here are some of the fireworks we saw from the Zoo parking lot.

 

Fun

 

Nate hanging out under his bed. We were getting ready to rearrange his room. We were very productive and moved lots of furniture around. It seems like the new room arrangements will work out better with less furniture in Ellie’s room to make room for a roommate.

   

Hanging out with Oma and Opa. Ellie is resting with Opa after a hard days work. Watching a movie with Opa. Ellie and Oma read lots of books.

Jelly face!

Happy 4th of July!

Still a work in progress

Meeting Baby Miren

Nate really enjoyed holding Miren. He asked to hold her twice. He insists that Miren loved him because she didn’t cry. He already has down the hold and slight bouncing technique.

Random park shots

We went to the park on Tuesday and these are a couple of pictures from the excursion.
